Trustee’s Right To Intervene; First Mortgage Bonds. (a) In any judicial proceedings to which the Authority is a party and which in the opinion of the Trustee and its counsel has a substantial bearing on the interests of the Bondholders, the Trustee may intervene on behalf of Bondholders and shall do so if requested in writing by the holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of Bonds then outstanding. The rights and obligations of the Trustee under this Section are subject to the approval of a court of competent jurisdiction. (b) Except as required to effect an assignment to a successor Trustee, the Trustee shall not sell, assign or transfer any First Mortgage Bond, if any, and the Trustee is authorized to enter into an agreement with the Company to such effect, including a consent to the issuance of stop transfer instructions to the First Mortgage Trustee. (c) If First Mortgage Bonds shall have been delivered in connection with the Bonds, the Trustee, as a holder of such First Mortgage Bonds, shall attend any meeting of first mortgage bondholders under the First Mortgage as to which it receives due notice. Either at such meeting, or otherwise where consent of holders of first mortgage bonds of the Company is sought without a meeting, the Trustee shall vote as such holder, or shall consent with respect thereto, proportionately with what the Trustee reasonably believes will be the vote or consent of all other holders of first mortgage bonds of the Company then outstanding and eligible to vote or consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall not vote as such holder in favor of, or give its consent to, any action which would materially adversely affect the interests of the Bondholders, except upon notification by the Trustee to the Bondholders of such proposal and consent thereto of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding or, if such proposal would so affect the rights of some but less than all the outstanding Bonds, the consent thereto of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) in aggregate principal amount of all Bonds so affected voting as a class.
